On the plus side Aorus has added some interesting software that enhances your gaming experience.

These are relatively minor quibbles but this is an expensive laptop and we expect every feature to be nigh-on perfect. In a similar vein the chiclet keyboard feels good to type on however the keys don't have enough travel to feel entirely comfortable.

There are details of the Aorus X7 Pro that cause minor annoyance, such the glass touchpad which is smooth and hard (well durrr, it's glass) however the lower part of the touchpad forms the mouse buttons and doesn't track the motion of your finger. The layout follows a logical order with the battery and empty 2.5-inch drive bay at the front, RAM, speakers and SSD in the middle and then we have the hot stuff at the rear. Opening the chassis is a simple matter of removing a handful of Torx screws and pulling off the bottom cover to reveal the innards, as you can see in the photos.

This works better than you might think as the cooling system uses flattened heatpipes that connect the heat sinks on the CPU and GPUs to fans located in the two corners at the rear of the chassis, which means the area at the rear is available for plugging in a printer, TV tuner or other devices. It is unusual to see the power connector located in the rear of the chassis along with two USB 2.0 directly behind the CPU. Looking around the sides reveals a decent crop of USB ports, HDMI and a Killer NIC as well as a Mini DisplayPort connector and VGA output, however you don't get a DVD drive. When you get to grips with the Aorus X7 Pro it becomes clear the slender nature of the chassis and the combination of Core i7 and SLI graphics means the rear of the chassis is dominated by the cooling system. From the cosmetic point of view this is a disappointing detail but it probably makes sense as the innards get rather warm when you are gaming and you wouldn't want a metal bottom cover that acts as a heat sink and radiator. The other point is that while the chassis is solid the bottom cover is plastic. The chassis is indeed thin for a high end gaming laptop but we weighed it at 3.16kg so we have to wonder whether Aorus ignores the battery. In fact these claims are slightly wide of the mark. Audio: 2 x Speakers, 2 x Woofers, Microphone, AORUS Acoustic+ Technology.Chipset: Mobile Intel HM87 Express Chipset.Graphics Memory: 3GB GDDR5 each (6GB Total).

Graphics Chipset: 2 x NVIDIA GTX 970M SLI.

Watch via our VIMEO channel below, or over on YOUTUBE. Specifically it is 0.9-inches in thickness (22.9mm), weighs 3kg and uses an all aluminium chassis. That's a massive amount of hardware for a gaming laptop however the curious thing is that the first statement that Aorus makes about the X7 Pro puts the emphasis on the form factor of the laptop.

Those SLI GPUs are driving a Full HD IPS panel so there is a huge amount of graphics power that is backed up with a Core i7 CPU and a pair of SSD in RAID. The Aorus X7 uses dual GTX 860M chips in SLI while this X7 Pro goes for the max to deliver dual GTX 970M in SLI, each with 3GB of memory. Two of the laptops have screens that are sub 14-inch but the two models that catch the eye are the 17.3-inch big boys. Currently the range consists of a handful of keyboards and backpacks, a mouse and mousepad and four laptops. Aorus is a premium brand that has been developed by Gigabyte to deliver high end gaming products with a distinct leaning towards laptops rather than PCs.
